Protect Your Aging Parents From Phone and Text Scams

English

Your parents deserve to feel safe on the phone, and you deserve a plan that doesn't take over your weekend.

Protect Your Aging Parents From Phone and Text Scams is a 45-page PDF written for you, the adult son or daughter. Unlike free guides aimed at older adults, which can sound like a lecture, this one gives you a practical, step-by-step plan to finish in a single afternoon, plus the words to use so your parents feel respected, not judged.

- Make text messages and WhatsApp safer

- Agree on a family code word

- Teach the "hang up, call back" habit

- Prepare a calm plan in case something goes wrong

Who it is for: adult children ages 35 to 55 with parents over 65 who use a cell phone or landline and WhatsApp, whether you live close or far away. No technical skills required.
